An annual event and the main fund raiser for the organization, the Poker Ride is during Memorial Day weekend (May 26 & 27th 2008) each year and is held at the Flying M Ranchnear Yamhill Oregon. The ride is Saturday and Sunday during Memorial Day weekend and riders need to check in by 11AM. The ride is typically about 3 hours long and will cover many types of terrain. We try to make an interesting and challenging ride, but try to make it safe as well. Please plan on joining us for this fun time. For those not understanding what a Poker Ride is, riders (and non-riders) can purchase "hands" of cards (each hand is $5 or 5 for $20). There are stations during the ride where cards are drawn and at the end of the ride many prizes are awarded depending on the hand drawn. No experience with cards is needed! In addition there are several raffles, including a saddle which are awarded to a lucky person. Many people have been coming to this ride for many years. Please come join us for this enjoyable weekend and to keep this ride continuing! Camping is available at the Flying M Ranch, ride for one or both days. Horses and mules are both welcome.
